{Sky News 16 January} Biden warns of an ‘oligarchy’ of wealth and power threatening US democracy
If one has previously dismissed the statements of President Joe Biden, it would now be most prudent to lend thine ears with grave attention. Verily, it strains belief that the millions of cult followers of Donald Trump remain steadfast while Elon Musk, with his coffers of gold, increasingly asserts his dominion over their #MAGA realm. Trump has been reduced to a supporting role in his own circus, yet few of his acolytes have reconciled themselves to this reality, and many simply never shall—their unparalleled capacity for self-delusion having long been proven the stuff of legend.
It is all, quite frankly, implausible. Begrudgingly to their credit, a small minority of the cult are displaying a glimmer of sense by openly opposing Musk’s usurpation (notably Steve Bannon and Laura Loomer), while others desperately cling to a façade of unity and feigned enthusiasm—a masquerade most transparent. The majority of the Trump lemmings, however, maintain a telling silence on Lord Elon, their muteness betraying an unspoken unease.
President Biden’s words stand as a stark warning—not merely to Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg but also to the common folk of #Murica. Without naming names, Mr Biden cautioned that the American people’s cherished golden idol is powerless to stop the oligarchic takeover and the systematic erosion of their constitutional republic by a tiny elite.
If the glaring truth of Trump’s complicity in all of this from the outset has not yet dawned upon his adoring masses, it likely never will. There does remains a faint possibility that they might be persuaded when confronted with the reality of who truly wields control—though whether they can be reached in this manner is, at best, uncertain. Plutocrats view humanity as expendable resources, to be exploited and discarded at will. A nation of sycophants grants them this licence through blind, unquestioning devotion to a bargain-basement demagogue, but the time to ask hard questions is long overdue.
#Murica, you unholy rabble: you remain either perilously unaware or actively complicit of the dire consequences of reinstating Trump—who, lest we forget, has long been under the influence of Vladimir Putin, one who is now in full-fledged partnership with Lord Elon. President Biden hath offered wisdom to those with wit to comprehend. Mark these words: many who scorn Joe Biden today shall one day lament their folly.
Gratitude is owed to President Biden for delivering what may prove to be the most momentous presidential declaration since President Ronald Reagan’s iconic Berlin Wall address. The burden now rests upon the ever-shrinking segment of the American public who still possess wisdom, common sense, and humanity to recognise the stakes and sound the alarm. As for the vast multitude, I place zero faith in them to act with wisdom. The now-former United States of America is in full-on suicide mode, and the odds are greatly stacked against those not abroad what used to be the ‘Trump Train’, but is now more like the Elon Express to Hades. - Arthur Newhook, 16 January 2025.
